Another Wedding Attended

Hi everyone!
It's still busy around here, it seems to be wedding season and for some reason this time for lots of people we know. No, that doesn't mean I will post about every wedding we attend hihi... Last weekend we spent at a wedding in Windsor which was really lovely and there were even a few mins of dry weather to take some pictures outside. Yes really... since then it has pretty much rained non-stop but what can you do, it's England after all.

I'm really trying to craft some more but with all these events it is tricky getting some time in. All these events of course also need to be arranged which is my part of the job so it can be quite nerve-wrecking sometimes. But the wedding was good, I'm a sucker for romance anyway ;) Let me show you some pictures, you'll agree... 

 
 Let's start with the food, in true Hobbit style ;) The food was very nice, simple but really good. This was dessert, a chocolate mousse with fruit stuff (I didn't eat the fruit stuff, there was chocolate!). It was so good that I ate the bf's too! hahaha...

 
Just look at this bouquet. I think the pearls are a really nice touch, first time I've seen this actually but then I don't attend too many weddings. Again, simple yet classy. I'm liking this wedding :) 

And then this cake, OMG! And it tasted so good! I couldn't stop taking pictures of it, but this was the one that showed the fruit the best. It was really really nice. And pretty too :)

With all that red, some purple was needed. Well, they did invite me (us) after all so they also invited the purple. Hihi... luckily there were lots of people in purple so I didn't stand out too much. But I did seem to have a LOT in this colour ;)

 I couldn't decide what to wear so I played it safe (again) with the purple vintage dress combined with my mother's vintage necklace. The thing that made me choose the purple dress in the last minute over the really cute white and black one that I had planned to wear (other than that wearing whitish is frowned upon if you're not the bride): that tiny little handbag that I found in the charity shop for £1.50! Score!

A moment without rain. Yes, that's our second home in the background there. If the Queen ever moves that is, hihi! Nah, just kidding... For all who don't know: behind us is Windsor Castle....

And of course the happy couple :) They looked so happy together! You can't really see the dress here but trust me it's nice :) Very elegant and just poofy enough. 

We had a lovely time and it took me a few days to recover from all the eating, drinking, and socialising... just in time for our next adventure... More of that soon!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February

My Neighbor Totoro Project #2: Catbus

Image
Hello again! So last time I showed you how I made Totoro. I ended up making yet another doll / pillow from the same movie for the same friend! I think this was a present for a combination of life events, and I knew she would love this. This time, I made Catbus! (if you don't know what Catbus looks like, please Google it as there are so many references out there! Or better yet: watch the movie, you will love it!) Again, I went shopping for fabric... at least this time I knew what I needed, the wool was just perfect, I just had to find the right colours. Catbus has various shades of brown and a bright yellow. The brown was easy but I couldn't find yellow anywhere... In the end I opted for yellow felt which worked as well. Not the tiny squares of craft felt, no the proper felt on a roll. It seemed stronger, and the colour was perfect. Sadly this time there was no tutorial, but I did find a pillow on ebay that served as inspiration for this project. Ok, I mostly copied it... M
